No—not with every Crave subscription in Canada. Full STARZ access is generally a paid add-on, currently listed by STARZ Canada at $6.99 per month plus tax when added to Crave. Some television providers sell a specific Crave-with-STARZ package, so check the name of your plan and who bills you before subscribing.
What ordinary Crave includes
A standard Crave subscription gives you the Crave catalogue, not automatic access to the full STARZ catalogue. Crave may show a limited sample of STARZ original programming, but seeing a STARZ-branded title or artwork does not mean your account has the STARZ add-on. A playback restriction or upgrade prompt means the account may not have the required entitlement.
STARZ Canada lists the Crave add-on at $6.99 a month plus tax, billed with Crave when purchased directly. This price was checked on August 18, 2026; prices, promotions and eligibility can change. Check STARZ Canada’s current offer before subscribing. Provider bundles may have different prices.
How to check whether you already have STARZ
- Open the subscription or add-on details for the account that pays for Crave and look for STARZ or a Crave-with-STARZ plan.
- Check your bill for “STARZ,” “Crave with STARZ,” or your provider’s package name.
- If you subscribed through a TV provider, check that provider’s package details; a Crave subscription through a provider does not necessarily include STARZ.
- Try playing a STARZ title in Crave. An upgrade prompt can indicate that STARZ access is not active. The STARZ logo or a title listing alone is not proof of access.
Adding STARZ to a directly billed Crave account
If Crave bills you directly, sign in to the account, open its subscription or plan-management area, and look for a STARZ add-on or Crave-with-STARZ upgrade. Review the recurring charge and tax before confirming, then check the account’s subscription details to make sure STARZ access is active. Exact menu labels may differ.
If you cannot find the option, your subscription may be billed through a TV provider, Bell Mobility, Amazon, Apple or another platform; your plan may not be eligible; or you may be signed in to a different Crave account. In those cases, check the billing platform’s package and add-on options rather than assuming Crave can add STARZ to that subscription.
Where you bought STARZ determines where you can watch it
A STARZ add-on purchased through Crave can be watched in the Crave app. STARZ Canada also says access is available through qualifying TV-provider arrangements, subject to the provider’s package. Amazon Prime Video Channels is separate: STARZ purchased there does not unlock STARZ inside Crave, so watch it through Amazon. STARZ is also offered through Apple Channels, but do not assume an Apple subscription grants access in Crave; use Apple’s platform information to confirm how that subscription works.
| Where STARZ is billed | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Direct Crave add-on | STARZ access in the Crave app |
| Qualifying TV-provider package | Access depends on the provider’s package and account setup |
| Amazon Prime Video Channels | Watch through Amazon, not Crave |
| Apple Channels | Check Apple’s access details; Crave-app access is not established by the available information |
STARZ Canada’s availability information lists provider, Crave, Amazon and Apple routes; subscribing through one does not automatically grant access through another.

Provider packages are not all the same
Some TV providers sell Crave and STARZ together, while others sell Crave without STARZ or offer STARZ separately. Bell television package names, for example, distinguish “Crave” from “Crave with STARZ,” and from larger bundles. Bell has listed a Crave-with-STARZ package at $25 a month before promotional credits; that is a provider-specific price, not the standard direct Crave price. Check Bell’s package details for current availability and terms.
“Bell Crave” can also mean different billing routes. Bell Mobility’s Crave offering is not the same as Bell Fibe or Satellite TV. Bell Mobility explicitly says STARZ is unavailable through that route. Its plan information also says Crave Standard With Ads excludes the STARZ add-on. Treat those as specific Bell plan limitations, not a guarantee that every Crave subscription has the same restrictions. See Bell Mobility’s current Crave plan details.

Before switching from direct Crave billing to a TV provider—or adding STARZ through another service—check which subscriptions are already active and who bills each one. Bell warns that an existing direct-billed Crave bundle, including Crave with STARZ, is not automatically paused or cancelled when a customer subscribes through Bell. You may need to change or cancel the old subscription yourself to avoid duplicate charges. Review Bell’s streaming subscription information and the terms of your existing billing platform.
